With PantheaCon starting in less than 24 hours from broadcast, RevKess and KaliSara wanted to take the opportunity to talk about some of the upcoming festival events. Focusing primarily on the United States, there are many festivals and Pagan events taking place in 2015. ConVocation, Between the Worlds, Heartland, PSG (just to name a few). During the show your hosts will give highlights of some of these upcoming events in early 2015.

Be sure to tune in to Pagan-Musings on the 15th for a live segment feature Sharon Knight. She will be dialing in from P-Con to share about her new music and video project.

If you are hosting or know of an event in your area that you would like us to talk about, please let us know through our Facebook or email us at paganmusings@gmail.com. (Note: The hosts are purposefully leaving PPD events out of this broadcast, those will be addressed in more detail as that season get closer.)

KaliSara and RevKess tend to focus on North America and Western Europe during PWN. Understandable, as they live in the Midwest of the United States. This week they will broaden their discussion of current events and news to encompass much of the global Pagan community. News from Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South America and of course from North America will be touched upon.

Due to a scheduling conflict, this week's edition is on Wednesday instead of Thursday. The hosts will try to share any other scheduling issues during broadcast, but will continue to post updates in show descriptions for those who prefer to listen live.

As event season gets ready to kick off for the Pagan community there are any number of minor controversies that might crop up. In the passed there have been issues regarding gender in sacred space, certain notable presenters and their pasts, and other issues - both minor and major. This year seems to be no exception to that. With Covenant of the Goddess facing member resignations and turmoil over their public statement regarding racial issues and a first time out festival in direct conflict with a well established festival - in both timing and geographic location - there seems to be now shortage of controversies to address this year.

RevKess and KaliSara will talk about some of those current issues and how they may play out in the near future. From Peter Dybing's strong stand on racial inclusivity in practice and language in regards to CoG to the Gathering of Pagan Souls festival being in direct conflict with Heartland Spirit Festival at the end of May. Along the way they may also address some of the past issues that have come in the Pagan world and how they were addressed and handled by those who could make a difference. They will also talk about other upcoming events in the Pagan world, including ConVocation and PantheaCon.

In the newest incarnation of Pagan Weekly News KaliSara joins RevKess for a live discussion of news and events that effect the Pagan world. Ranging from current events to editorial pieces, commentary on mainstream coverage of issues around the globe to updates on Pagan festivals, books and music, and much more, PWN will once again bring you insights into the world today from the perspective of Pagans.

Topics for this edition include, but are not limited to, Charlie Hebdo, racism, new books and music. Tune in live or in archives to find out just what RevKess and KaliSara decide to talk about.

Mike Nichols, the author of The Witches' Sabbats, is one of the first American Pagan broadcasters. He was broadcasting on regular radio in the 1970's. RevKess and KaliSara are very happy to host Mr Nichols in this episode to discuss a history of Pagan broadcasting as well as some of the history of Paganism in the United States and elsewhere around the modern world. Mr Nichols has been presenting workshops and discussions on a history of witchcraft and occultism in the United States for a number of years now.

Join us as we talk about some of the various projects going on in the Pagan community, from music to videos, from books to movies. We'll give some details about where projects are at and what's been happening.

Sharon will be joining RevKess and Kalisara for the second hour, Live from Pantheacon!, to talk about the details of her own album and music video project, Portals. From her FB Event Page: "Winter and I are embarking on our most ambitious project yet, which will draw on the talents of an entire community of musicians, filmmakers, and artists. We are creating a fully produced album AND music video. This is a real stretch for us, and we considered making the video a stretch goal. However, the video really is core to the project, and the reason we decided to do a crowd funding campaign."

On Thursday February February 12th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with hostPoke Runyon will present a discussion on the late medieval Dutchsurrealist painter Hieronymus Bosch whose remarkable works have not yetbecome the secret code behind a Dan Brown novel (hint Bro. Dan) butwould certainly provide a great background for such a story. His mostfamous work "The Garden of Earthly Delights" is a phantasmagoria a ofbizarre and nightmarish symbolism. Which scholars relate to the Gonosticsect of the Adamites -- a cult of mystic nudists who were trying torecreate the Garden of Eden. Super Catholic Spain had taken over theNetherlands in those days and the Inquisition was burning the DutchAdamites as fast as Bosch could paint them but the King of Spain wasBosch's biggest fan, which probably kept Bosch alive.So you can look atsome great Bosch graphics on your computer while you listen to usrecount the tale of the Devil's painter.

7:30 The Pagan Variety Show. This week join Pamela Kelly as she interviews Selena Fox, Lupa, Tuatha Dea, and Paganicon organizers and others about this year's Paganicon, a Pagan conference in Minneapolis, March 13-15.

You've heard KaliSara and RevKess talk about it for weeks, even months. The ABC Book of Goddesses is now available. Selina Wolfcat will be joining RevKess and special guest host Kyrja to talk about the book and the process of creating this wonderful children's book. From concept to press, the journey has been a long one - but well worth it. Selina created the book with the help of illustrator Ann Tendler. See the Amazon listing or visit the Facebook page for Pagan Children's Books for more details and get a look at some of the art work.

Kyrja is the author of Rupert's Tales and organizes children's and environmental events in Florida. Kyrja, RevKess and Selina also expect to be joined by Rayne Storm, author of Elmental Tarot for Kids, and Ancient Amber, author of the Sunchildren series.

RevKess and KaliSara find themselves between interviews and no set plan for this episode. So, to paraphrase the line, "Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat!" They'll hop along from topic to topic with no real sense of where they are going - or will they? Tune in and find out just how coherent a show they can create the fly. Will they talk spring cleaning? new music? rambling on about crystal weenies and fluffy bunnies? It is anyone's guess - even their's - until it happens.

Topic and discussion includes Pagan news items, dates of interest, and join us for some Pagan Winter Tales. our ancetors would gather round during the cold, winter days and tell stories of bravery, challenges and romance. grab your coffee (or cocoa and your favorite blanket) while we regale you with tales of old to pass the afternoon. Comments and questions from callers and chat room participants welcome! Let's Chat!
